Use one asset library across apps and environments

Publish shared logos, fonts, documents, media and build assets once, then reference them from multiple apps, previews, CMS projects and production environments.

The problem

Shared assets often end up copied into each app, CMS, preview environment or deployment folder. Over time, every place can drift into a slightly different version of the same file.

That makes brand updates, legal documents, shared media and design-system files harder to publish consistently across environments.

Duplicate logos and fonts

Different files in staging and production

CMS and app assets managed separately

Manual updates across multiple projects

No shared release URL for asset sets

Solution

Smooth Bundle gives the shared asset set its own project. Apps and environments consume CDN URLs from that project instead of each carrying private copies of the same files.

Define the shared asset project

Put shared files in a folder structure that matches how apps will consume them. Use a release project when environments need pinned versions.

Example .sbundle.json file

{
  "project": "Shared Brand Assets",
  "projectSlug": "shared-brand-assets",
  "type": "versioned",
  "version": "2.3.0",
  "sources": [
    "./brand/**/*.{svg,png,webp,avif}",
    "./fonts/**/*.{woff2,woff}",
    "./docs/**/*.{pdf,json}"
  ],
  "replacePath": {
    "/brand/": "/brand/",
    "/fonts/": "/fonts/",
    "/docs/": "/docs/"
  }
}

Publish the shared release

Run the same publish flow locally or from CI. Publishing the version also updates the project's latest pointer.

npm run build

sbundle create-version
sbundle push
sbundle publish-version

Reference the same assets everywhere

Production can pin a version. Previews, internal apps or CMS templates can use latest when they should follow the active shared release.

Pinned and latest URLs

<link
  rel="preload"
  href="https://cdn.smoothbundle.com/acme/shared-brand-assets/2.3.0/fonts/inter.woff2"
  as="font"
/>

<img
  src="https://cdn.smoothbundle.com/acme/shared-brand-assets/latest/brand/logo.svg"
  alt="Acme"
/>

Result

Multiple apps and environments can reference the same published asset project. Teams update the asset set once, then choose whether each consumer follows latest or stays pinned to an explicit version.
